Hi Guys i have a strange overheating problem from startup
Start the car when cold and the temp slowly rises on the gauge until it gets into the red then the thermostat opens and it goes to normal and stays there never moves,
when it gets to the red if i get out and take the cap of the reservoir it makes a hiss and the temp gauge goes to normal, Now this has only started since i changed the timing cover because i found a crack in it, it has never done it before i changed the cover, originally i thought it was the thermostat but ive changed it and its still doing it, the old one tested ok
any ideas guys, all help would be appreciated
Im wondering if a blocked bypass hose from the thermostat housing to the water pump might be the cause, what you all think ?
as I say as soon as the stat opens everything is fine
thanks all
